re: Why aren't white people having kids anymore?

They were told to chase careers, at all cost. And getting a good job means college, and an MBA. How do you do that, sustain a relationship, and raise a family?

Modern life is very expensive, children are incredibly expensive.

Boys never grow up now. They stay stuck in a perpetual childhood, even as they grow older. This became a problem after WW2.

Chemicals is part of it - our food supply is heavily contaminated with endocrine disruptors. And that screws up our chemistry. It especially hurts men.



I am worried about Western culture.

I think there is something really rotten with us, and you see it with the modern left, with their assault on Western culture. Are we, as a people, committing a kind of collective suicide?

The left is trying to destroy the world around them, the right can't be bothered to defend that world, and neither side is having children. It's hate, apathy, and hopelessness.

A lot of white women got into feminism in college back around 2000. They showed how they reject patriarchal standards of beauty by getting fat, cutting their hair weird and getting tattoos or piercings. As they hit their 30s they realized that their profs brainwashed them and they made a mistake. Now as the biological clock is ticking they can't find any men that want them.

But the TFR for white people in the US fell below replacement in the 1970's. It's been a half-century of below replacement rates, and there isn't even a suggestion of how to fix this.

That's not specific to whites. The birth rates across the board have been dropping since the 70s. The reason any significant pop increase occurs is due to immigration. There are a lot more Mexicans and Asians in the US now than 1970. Blacks would be gaining pop on whites but black females have a much higher percentage of abortions than whites.

And since black females are a large percentage of the college crowd since 2000 they are falling in line with the feminist crowd and turning to lesbianism.

I also think legalized abortion had a TON to do with 70's timeline...especially with white women.

White women are pricing themselves out of marriage because they're one of the most educated and highest earning demographic in an economy completely catered to women which is reducing the utility of men for their security.

Correct And the period between 65-75 was the decade of tons of social shift. Not just birth control and abortion. Second wave feminism hit (first wave being the suffragettes).
Around 1970 the message to woman was not 'don't get married or have kids because men are bad'. It was 'delay marriage so you can get a job and become independent'. That delay often ran them right into the wall so they only had one kid.
